I think you're better off picking stuff from different breweries to give a wider selection.

It's odd, normally if I pick up four bottles I only sup a couple of them over the evening but I went through all four last night as though they were water!

Tesco in Hinckley has a few for sale mate, I'd just go down & get a couple of each & see which one you like.
When you turn left into the Beer aisle they are almost immediately on your right.

Strangley enough though I like all the others, Blandford Fly is by far and away my favourite ale that Badger produce.

I can manage about a half-pint before I start to go off the taste. It's just too... floral for my liking.

I'm rather fond of it as an occasional drink, not one I would buy many bottles of.

Went out for a meal in Leicester this evening and popped into an off licence afterwards and picked up 4 random bottles, Hobgoblin which was okay, Greene King IPA which is nice, Dragon Stout which was horrible and Ruddles County which was nice. So at least I'm getting to know which ones I like.

I poured the Dragon Stout into a glass, took 1 look at it and was unsure, had one drink and couldn't stand the taste, tasted kinda fizzy, even my dad couldn't drink it, so down the sink it went. I don't think it helped that it was 7.6% (?).
